“We envisioned Snow Owl Retreat as a sanctuary,” says John Kotsopoulos. “A place where guests can escape the rush of everyday life and reconnect—with themselves, their loved ones, and nature.”

Designed for Comfort and Serenity

Snow Owl Retreat is more than just a vacation home—it’s a thoughtfully designed space that merges comfort with modern luxury. The industrial chic aesthetic, featuring minimalist decor, blends seamlessly with the natural beauty surrounding the property. Large, open rooms create a sense of flow, while comfortable nooks offer quiet retreats for reading, writing, or simply gazing out at the water.

The kitchen is fully equipped for those who enjoy cooking, with a large dining area perfect for gathering family or friends around the table. For those who prefer to dine al fresco, the outdoor kitchen and grill offer a perfect setup for meals on the deck. Imagine enjoying a glass of wine while the sun sets, the sky casting golden hues over the lake, and the warmth of the fire pit crackling in the background.

Ideal Couple’s Retreat

Planning some quality time with your partner? Start your day at Snow Owl Retreat with a spectacular sunrise over Adolphus Reach. There’s nothing quite like watching the soft morning light play across the water as you sip your coffee on the deck. From there, the day is yours to explore Prince Edward County at your own pace.

Spend the afternoon visiting local wineries, many of which offer tastings and vineyard tours. Take your pick from boutique vineyards or larger establishments like Sandbanks Winery or Waupoos Estates Winery and Restaurant. After a leisurely day of sipping wine and enjoying the scenery, return to the retreat to prepare dinner in your outdoor kitchen, grilling up local produce from one of the area’s many farm stands.

As evening falls, you can curl up by the fire pit or enjoy a swim in the saltwater infinity pool under the stars. The retreat’s intimate atmosphere and luxurious amenities create the perfect backdrop for memorable moments.

A Family Adventure

Got the whole crew with you? Snow Owl Retreat is just as welcoming to families. With plenty of space to stretch out, kids will love splashing in the pool, playing board games in the spacious living room, or running around the expansive property. Parents can relax, knowing there’s room for everyone to unwind.

After a fun-filled day of exploring nearby Sandbanks Provincial Park—a short drive away and a must-see for its expansive beaches and dunes—gather on the deck for a family meal. The outdoor kitchen and grill make cooking for a crowd easy, and the serene setting offers the perfect chance to reconnect over a delicious dinner. Afterward, you can gather around the fire pit for marshmallows and stories under the night sky.

If the kids need some extra entertainment, there’s a selection of indoor and outdoor games available, ensuring everyone can find something to enjoy.

The Solo Traveller’s Escape

Need some me time? Snow Owl Retreat is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. Whether you’re looking to catch up on reading, do some creative writing, or simply take a break from the hustle of daily life, you’ll find the calm you’ve been craving here.

Start your day with a peaceful walk around the property, taking in the fresh air and listening to the sounds of nature. The expansive deck is the ideal spot to spend a lazy afternoon with a book, and if you’re feeling more active, there are plenty of nearby trails to explore. Millennium Trail, a scenic path perfect for hiking or biking, offers beautiful views of the county.

As the day winds down, settle in with a glass of wine and watch the sunset from the deck. The sense of tranquillity and solitude is unmatched, making Snow Owl Retreat an ideal spot for introspection or simply letting go of the world’s worries.

A Commitment to Sustainability

“We’re committed to making Snow Owl as eco-friendly as possible,” John says. “From our saltwater pool, which reduces the need for harsh chemicals, to our energy-efficient systems, we’re always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact.”

The home’s large windows not only provide stunning views but also maximize natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. The retreat’s approach to sustainability reflects John’s desire to ensure that this special place remains beautiful for years to come.

A Local Experience

While the retreat itself offers everything you need for a rejuvenating stay, Prince Edward County is full of attractions that can enhance your visit. For those looking to explore, Snow Owl Retreat is perfectly situated near some of the county’s best-known destinations.

Wineries, breweries, and distilleries dot the landscape, offering everything from intimate tastings to full tours. A visit to Picton or Bloomfield will uncover charming boutiques, antique shops, and local art galleries. Food lovers will enjoy dining at the county’s top-rated restaurants, known for using fresh, local ingredients in everything from farm-to-table cuisine to inventive fine dining.

Looking for something off the beaten path? John suggests exploring lesser-known beaches and hidden wineries for a more secluded experience. “Some of the smaller wineries offer intimate tastings that you won’t find in larger venues, and there are beautiful, quiet spots for those who want to avoid the crowds,” they say.

For nature lovers, the nearby Sandbanks Provincial Park offers pristine beaches and sand dunes, perfect for a day of exploration. Hiking and biking along the Millennium Trail is another way to enjoy the area’s natural beauty.

Snow Owl Retreat has become a beloved destination for many repeat visitors, some of whom come to celebrate life’s milestones. “We’ve had couples get engaged here, then come back for their honeymoon,” John says. “It’s special to know that our retreat has become a part of their love story.”

For families, the retreat often becomes a place of tradition, with guests returning year after year for reunions, anniversaries, or simply to relax in a familiar, welcoming environment. John continues to add to the property, with plans to expand outdoor spaces, including nature trails and a yoga deck, making future stays even more enjoyable.
